Awakenings Festival rings the techno alarm clock with titanic 2020 lineup – Dancing Astronaut

If you’ve ever hoped for a Tomorrowland of techno, then make room in your planner for Awakenings Festival, the world’ largest outdoor techno event. This year the Netherlands event celebrates its 20th edition with a lineup as deep as it is wide, presenting sets from pound for pound techno icons like Carl Cox, Jeff Mills, and Derrick May alongside a true buffet of the genre’s new breed.

While Awakenings billed as a techno festival, its lineup builds a truly vibrant sonic collage within the genre. In 2020 fans can expect sets from 99999999, Richie Hawtin, Boris Brejcha, Ricardo Villalobos, Speedy J, Joris Voorn, ANNA, Charlotte De Witte, and Tale of Us among literally a hundred other DJs who sit at the top of the electronic game.

To celebrate having its roots planted firmly in Amsterdam’s techno culture, Awakenings took to the canal’s for this year’s lineup announcement with an hour-long acid journey from Reinier Zonneveld, whose electro-tinged brand of techno has gained him particular notoriety in the Dutch scene.
